a style of music formed in 1980's and 1990's with clean guitar for the verse, and heavy distortion during the chorus. the lyrics usually are emotional, having to do with emotions. such as love, hate, anger, past screw ups. But in no way does emo involve kids cutting themselves, or wearing tight jeans, or scarfs or any of that crap. emo started as a style of music, and has now turned into a degrading form of self expression. i hate what emo has turned into...because in fact, most bands nowadays can be classified as emo, but people are just too used to thinking emo is, black hair, tight pants, and all that. IT ISN'T!!!!!!!
For example...a band nowadays that should actually be classified as emo is, Boys Like Girls...to be more specific, Me, you, and my medication. Listen to it. it starts out clean guitar, and during the chorus goes into distorted guitar.

Emo something that a lot of kids nowadays don't care about and say false shit about. you can still find them through 6th -10th grade and even adults are it. Emos are NOT people that cry and shit, they like the music and the way they dress. and mostly make memes of bands so if you have a problem with that fuck off

The cousin to the Goths, the shy Emo is an interesting and not very well documented species as they tend to hide in their nests. What we do know about them, however, is that they came in many different subspecies that have their own way of living.
It is a miscommunication through what scientists theorized as a translation error that Emos are sad pieces of shit that self harm and wallow in self sorrow all the time, but this is far from the truth. Yes one of the subspecies do tend to self harm and have a higher suicide rate, but there's many others that have happy and healthy lifes and just tend to use the Emo lifestyle.
The sad fact is though, that the Emo population has decreased do to their habitats, band concerts such as My Chemical Romance, being taken away, or more commonly referred to as 'disbanded.' They still have some mating sites like Hot Topic and Panic! At the Disco, but that doesn't change their alarming population change. Scientists theorize that one of the reasons is do to the miscommunication stated above.
When finding a mate to add to their friend group, the Emos use a special mating call that usually sounds like this:
'When I was a young boy...'
'The groom's bride is a...'
'Can you save my heavydirtysoul...'

"I feel bad for my little girl. She hides in her room and listens to *whispers* emo. I think she might be self harming or even suicidal."
"You're kidding, right? Just because she plays Fall Out Boy and Panic! At-"
"And the Pilots and Chemical Romances."
"Twenty One Pilots and My Chemical Romance. But just because of her music choice or her clothing style doesn't mean shit. Even then, crying to sad music or movies or whatever can be a good and healthy outlet if she is sad or depressed."

Emo is not one thing, it is actually multiple things, and either can make you Emo;
Emo is a style, wearing dark clothes usually black, black painted nails/hair, and the hair can be shaggy and swooped across the face usually long. Emo can also be a mentality, someone who is in tune with their own emotions, they understand themselves, self harm too but we dont talk about that. One more thing that could make you emo is music taste, for instance, all types of rock and metal genres fit into emo. Some artists that would fit the emo genre would be: Joel Faviere, Get Scared, Black Veil Brides, and so on.
You dont need to fit all the criteria to be Emo, just one is fine, And if you fit some of it and dont want to be called Emo, then thats alright, you do you.
